Enhancement of Dielectric Breakdown Strengths in Polymer Film Capacitors 929248
Breakdown voltages of wound, polymer film/metal foil capacitors have been dramatically increased by briefly exposing them (after they had been spirally wound) to a low pressure, low temperature gas plasma. Exposure of wound, polycarbonate-based capacitors to a 96%CF4/4%O2 gas plasma for 4 minutes, for example, produced a 200% increase in breakdown voltage.
